Came here with a friend for lunch and the food was both VERY reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. I got a mango-jackfruit smoothie and tried some of my friend's lemongrass tofu - both were fantastic. Will absolutely come back if I'm in Philly again!

Ordered lemongrass tofu with rice and it was fire 👌it came with a cup of soup at a reasonable price. Visiting from an area with a plethora of authentic Vietnamese restaurants and I’d say this place is on par with them, highly recommended!

This place is awesome, and I can't believe I didn't notice it until today, when I left the bank lol! I had the Poke bowl with tuna, which was delicious,and fresh! Welcoming, friendly, and gracious service, beautifully crafted presentation, generous portion, and good prices are some of the things that make this take out place a new favorite! Make sure to have cash or Venmo, or go to the atm at the bank across the street! I will def return to the Pop Up Cafe!

This place is adorable, and the service and food are amazing! I ordered the Poke bowl, with tuna, and house dressing (reccomended by the chef), and it was fantastic! Avacado, mango, red peppers, mixed lettuce and a generous portion of fresh tuna, beautifully displayed and so delicious! I'm so happy that I stopped in,and will definitely be back to try more of their menu items. It's cash or Venmo only, which is great for me and the economy!
Vegetarian options: There are tofu options with most of their dishes!

Tried the poke salad with tuna with house dressing and it was probably the best poke bowl I've ever had. The house dressing tasted like a strawberry vinaigrette. It was sweet, tangy, and a little spicy. Tuna was super fresh and perfectly seasoned. Will be back to try the crackling pork banh mi, which looked really good as well.
Update: tried the BBQ pork banh mi and not only was it delicious, but extremely filling. A lot of places like to skimp on the fillings, but the 12" roll was packed nicely.
My gf got the salmon poke bowl and it was just as good as the tuna bowl. Highly recommend stopping in here and grabbing some food.

Super delicious, super cute. Sometimes they have sometimes I don't. Go around the corner to a few parks and eat if you need to. Out of control so yummy.

This place is amazing. Authentic Vietnamese food that is absolutely delicious. Several veg options clearly marked. The bahn mi is incredible, best I’ve had in Philly, hands down. It’s so huge, it’s juicy, the tofu is delicious. Also had a vegan papaya salad that was fresh and amazing. Several other options on the menu. I am not sure if the vegetable pho is vegan as I did not ask but I will the next time I go and edit this review with an update!
Edit: update is pho chay (vegetarian) is also vegan!

So far I've tried the ginger chicken and lemongrass chicken banh mis and both have been AMAZING! Great spot, and the owner is very kind!! Can't recommend more.
